    The food is great, but sometimes the shift cook changes, and so the taste changes also. The service is great. One time, the server was old women she was one of the nises person that serves in Philadelphia. The atmosphere was when there were not a lot of people, but when to mach people it's simple to loud. There is a discount when you follow they Instagram or Facebook (15%OFF). I will recommend sushi with shrimps. Also, you can choose between 5-10 sushi pieces.

    For a Saturday night we were seated pretty quickly. Food: Pennsylvania roll- 8/10 (the cream cheese threw it off for me) Broccoli- 10/10 cooked very well. Beef fried rice - 9/10 it tasted a little sweet for me. The server Jay was helpful when we asked to switch seats. Quiet spot for a weekend date night.

    Ninja is our favorite sushi spot. We're usually seated in the second floor, which has a nice ambiance. Plenty of people around us, but quiet enough to have a nice conversation. Service is fast and the specialty rolls are always on point. Our favorite last time was the black angel roll. We went with the vegetable gyoza as an appetizer last time, which was delicious. Excited to try fried calamari next time.

    3 roll combo-top- spicy scallop, shrimp tempera( one of my go to rolls), and spicy salmon. The shumai next to rolls is so good.

    It's Friday during lent and I can't imagine anything better than sushi from our favorite place. I usually get the same rolls but today I tried 3 new rolls. The supreme roll is shrimp tempura inside and spicy crab on the outside- it's my new favorite I loved it. The crispy spicy tuna and the black Angel were both also really good. My other half got the shrimp hibachi and loved it like always. My go to is usually the kani roll. Either way I feel like yuh can't go wrong with what yuh order here. I have enough left over for my dinner too.

    Really nice sushi spot in the area. Would definitely recommend for a quick dinner or a lunch with friends. The interior is very clean and stylish. The service here is super friendly and the waitress was constantly checking in on us. They no longer accept the Yelp check in offer apparently but our waitress was kind enough to honor it anyway and gave us a free order of edamames. Loved my gyoza and the portion was very filling.

    Short review - out of all of the meals ordered over this covid-19 lockdown thing ... this meal was by far the best of 'em all. the chicken tempura roll was not quite on par with Ahi sushi but everything else was far superior. I especially enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. Looking to order out sushi ? Ninja will not disappoint.

    I went to this place for lunch and had a pretty good experience! They had great lunch specials which was great! I got the teriyaki salmon which was really good. I also had avocado rolls which were great. But what took the icing was the FRIED ICE CREAM. Like whyyyyyy was it soooooooo goooodddddd! Like i was super stuffed already but could not stop eating it! Like omg. I feel as though I had fried ice cream before but never was it so good. Service could have been a little bit better especially since the place was empty. they also made my friend the wrong meal, which they took back without an issue, issued an apology and then returned shortly after with the right meal. BUT BACK TO THIS FRIED ICE CREAM. get the green tea fried ice cream and thats alllll ima say.

It gives a very nice date night feeling. I ordered the Chef's tasting menu, it includes a total of 13 items. The only confusing bit is that you choose the items from the menu and the entire party will share (that part makes sense of an "omakase" feeling). It is nice that you get to choose as there are some premium items that ate included, making the $78 well worth it IMO. Service was quick and we were checked on throughout the meal without feeling overbearing or interrupting. The food was filling and portions werent skimped, we wound up taking the rice and brazino to go before the final dish - desert. After the meal they ask if you'd like anything else, just in case (we did). I highly recommend the wagyu plate, we got it done rare and it was like butter. Absolutely amazing.

The only minor downside was that it got pretty warm inside. It was during the heatwave, so I don't think the A/C was able to keep up, but it definitely wouldn't stop us from coming back. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!

All of them were tasty and filling, and for happy hour, decently priced. It's a good place to try and to meet up with friends. DRINKS We had their yuzu paloma and one of their specialty cocktails.

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

Place is super trendy with an open concept kitchen and dark lighting. I might be getting old because I find myself wanting more lighting lol Service is spectacular and if it's your first time here they'll fully explain their menu and recommendations. This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.

We were a party of two and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. ​The Highlights: ​Quality: This is hands-down the best quality "all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) sushi I've had. Unlike other places where the fish can sometimes taste frozen, everything here tasted fresh and high-quality. ​Service: Our server, Jordan, was incredibly attentive and made our lunch even better. ​Menu: The miso soup was delicious, and the salad portion was generous. The fried calamari was also great, though the pieces were on the smaller side. While the chicken teriyaki was a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. ​Value: At approximately $33.85, the AYCE price is a great value for the quality you receive. They also have an extensive ramen menu--while it's not included in the AYCE price, it looked delicious and is something I'm excited to try next time. ​Overall Thoughts: The restaurant was very quiet during our lunch visit, which made for a relaxing meal, though I imagine it gets lively during happy hour. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for fresh sushi and great service!

    The AYCE price for what you get is very solid! We ordered almost half of the rolls on the menu and…read moresome were more of a miss than a hit. There are not too many of the popular traditional rolls and these ones are a little more creative, and more tempura and imitation crab rather than eel or salmon fillings. My friends and I barely finished our 3 rounds and did notice that the nigiri had a lot more rice towards the end than it did in the beginning. Would recommend this place if you're looking for quantity of sushi for a good deal.
